In our classroom, we use Epic! as a tool for independent reading (to build stamina and enjoyment of reading), for research, to build comprehension and fluency skills, and to learn about topics in science and social studies.
Epic! is the world's leading online children's subscription book service offering immediate, on-demand access to over 40,000 high-quality illustrated books and chapter books for children ages 12 and under. Epic's ever-expanding library also includes thousands of Read-to-Me books, Audiobooks, educational videos, and fun educational quizzes. Partnerships with leading publishers, including HarperCollins and National Geographic, bring age-appropriate, award-winning fiction and non-fiction books to your child's fingertips.
